Versatile 24V DC Push-Pull Actuator | AS 1325 for Automation & Prototyping

The AS 1325 is a dependable 24V DC Tubular Push-Pull Solenoid Actuator, built for a wide range of automation and control tasks. Its small, cylindrical design provides consistent linear force, allowing it to work effectively in both directions. This makes it a great choice for prototyping, light industrial use, and consumer products. You’ll often find this versatile actuator in automatic locking systems, ticket or card dispensers, sorting gates on light conveyors, valve actuation, and interactive display panels.
Operating on a standard 24V DC supply makes it simple to connect to PLCs, microcontrollers, and typical power systems. The AS 1325, with its well-rounded performance, moderate force output, and easy installation, is a core component for engineers and designers. It’s ideal for those looking for an affordable, electrically controlled linear motion solution. It’s particularly useful in applications where space is limited and reliability is paramount.

Product Detailed Description

 

Advantages & Disadvantages

Advantages Disadvantages
Versatile & Universal: Suitable for push or pull actions in countless light to medium-duty applications. Limited Force/Stroke: Not designed for heavy load-bearing or very long stroke applications.
Simple Integration: Standard 24V DC operation compatible with most control electronics (PLCs, Arduino, relays). Intermittent Duty: Typically rated for intermittent use; continuous energizing can lead to overheating.
Compact & Space-Efficient: Tubular design allows for installation in tight spaces. Requires External Control: Needs a driver circuit (e.g., relay, MOSFET, flyback diode) for safe operation.
Cost-Effective: Provides an economical solution for automated linear motion. Audible Click & Vibration: Produces an audible sound and mechanical vibration upon actuation.
Fast Response Time: Offers rapid on/off cycling for quick actuation tasks. Wear Over Time: Mechanical parts (plunger, spring) are subject to wear over millions of cycles.

Applications

Commercial & Retail: Think ticket dispensers, card readers, the guts of vending machines, and currency acceptors.

Security & Access: Electric door locks, cabinet latches, and those electromagnetic locking pins you see.

Industrial Automation: Light-duty sorting gates, diverter arms, tool positioners, and valve piloting for air or water.

Office & Consumer Devices: Printer mechanisms, paper feed actuators, and the inner workings of interactive kiosks.

Prototyping & Hobbyist Projects: Robotics, animated displays, custom automation fixtures, and educational models.

FAQ

Q1: What does “Push-Pull Type” really mean?

A: It means the solenoid’s plunger is set up to do work in both directions. When you turn it on, it pulls the plunger in.
You can connect your mechanism to either end of the solenoid, allowing it to either pull a latch closed or push a lever open, which makes it very flexible.

Q2: Can I power this actuator directly from an Arduino or Raspberry Pi pin?
A: No, you shouldn’t. The coil draws a lot of current (usually 500mA-2A), which could damage a microcontroller pin. You need a driver circuit, like a transistor (MOSFET) or a mechanical relay, and a flyback diode across the coil to protect your electronics from voltage spikes.

Q3: Is the AS 1325 good for continuous holding (like keeping a lock engaged)?
A: Usually, no. Standard solenoids like the AS 1325 are made for intermittent use and will overheat if they’re powered continuously. For holding applications, you should use a “latching” solenoid, which only needs a power pulse to change state and then stays in position magnetically without power or heat.

Q4: How long does it usually last?
A solenoid’s lifespan is measured in cycles, which is one complete on/off operation. A high-quality solenoid, such as the AS 1325, can function for several million cycles when used within its specified load and voltage limits. However, its lifespan will be significantly shortened if its force rating is exceeded, if it is operated without a flyback diode, or if it is subjected to extreme heat.

Q5: How do I decide between a pull-type and a push-type solenoid?
The AS 1325 is designed to pull when energized. The “push-pull” designation indicates its flexibility. The choice depends on the mechanical linkage. If the load is connected to the end that moves into the solenoid’s body when powered, it operates in pull mode. Conversely, if the load is connected to the opposite end, which moves out, it operates in push mode. Consider the space and motion direction required by your application.
